The Broncos selected some guy named Tim Tebow.2009: The Ravens traded up three spots to No. 23 and selected offensive tackle Michael Oher.2008: Baltimore traded the No. 8 pick to Jacksonville for the 26th pick. Later they swapped picks with Houston to move up to No. 18. There the Ravens drafted Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco.2007: This was the last time the Ravens picked 29th. They stood pat and took guard Ben Grubbs.2006: The Ravens moved up one pick -- No. 13 to No. 12 -- and selected defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.
